[QUOTE=CrimsonEchidna;5148502]You know I always had this pitch in my head of Miles and the other Brooklyn residents having to protect their home in an ensuing gang war so it's interesting to see it played out here. Though I always imagined it being against Tombstone lol[/QUOTE]
Tombstone would mess those civilians up though...

[QUOTE=Digifiend;5147694]Yeah, Tomoe is definitely primarily an Iron rogue, therefore they might not be allowed to use her. Debuted in Iron Man fighting Tony and Rhodey. Fought Riri and Pepper on her next appearance. Then Miles. Bendis was just reusing one of his own creations when she fought Miles.

so who is that in green/purple? Is that Hobie Brown or Uncle Aaron? (or someone else?)
-- so "Ultimatum" is '616 Miles' but how did he get his powers? what happened to him being back in the Ultimate Earth, and reuniting with that version of his wife?
are those energy rings coming from bombshell?
is Starling still in high school? what is her outlook? is she a thief? a street hero?

Uncle Aaron
Eviles seemingly stole the equipment of The Ultimates from Earth-1610, the only explanation for his return is that things didn't work out for him(im assuming his wife is just one of those characters who ends up dying frequently throughout the Multiverse) and has chosen to come back to his Earth and go back to his mafia roots. We aren't sure od his final goal yet.
Yes, her powers manifest as those rings and they go boom when they hit something.
Don't think we have her exact age but she's at least the same age as Miles or a few years older, still a young adult. She debuted wanting to kill Tombstone and mangled a few of his goons, but does seemed to have chilled out since bumping into Miles. Street level, soon to be involved with the Champions.

Starling feels like she's 18-19 to me.

From the Walmart website concerning the new suit
[quote]• T.R.A.C.K. Suit – Designed by Javier Garrón, one of the talented Marvel artists on the MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN comic book series. Zip up the Time Response Activated Circuit Kinetic (T.R.A.C.K.) Suit and unlock the Untrackable Suit Mod.[/quote]
It's pretty cool they got one of Miles' artists to design a suit, I wonder if they got any others?

Sounds like the suit perk is a boost to Miles' camo powers.

Indeed. As for the full name --- Time Response Activated Circuit Kinetic --- it sounds like Miles's version of Peter's Velocity Suit.

Miles cuts a strong figure :).

Oh yeah, I thought I'd share: I asked Carmen Carnero about the art on Miles' book today and she responded that [URL="https://twitter.com/CarmenCarnero/status/1309205688548237314"]she had to step away from Miles' book temporarily to serve as a fill-in artist for Hellions due to the pandemic. She'll be returning to Miles' book still as the lead artist.[/URL]

That's good to know. Thanks.

I wonder if Marvel is toying with the idea of Miles eventually going by Shadow Spider, not unlike how Gwen now goes by Ghost Spider. I think that's one of the reasons the book is titled Miles Morales: Spider-Man-- Build name recognition for Miles, so that you can have him adopt another identity without losing the brand recognition. Maybe one day we'll be seeing Miles Morales: Shadow Spider.

Though I love the Shadow Spider moniker and the suit is probably the best or second best suit that Miles ever had, I think that the idea of Miles adopting that name is a bit counter-intuitive. I know adaptations tend to not care about this, but Miles concept is that of a modernized Spider-Man. "What if Peter Parker was created today" sort of stuff, and after the big boom that was Spider-Verse, I don't think it would be too helpful for him to change his hero name to literally anything else.
That's his whole point. He isn't an adjacent character, he isn't a side-kick. He isn't Kid Arachnid or Shadow Spider or Spy-D. He is Spider-Man as much as Peter is.
-
Yeah, there is literally no point in changing Miles' name beyond the reason of simply not making him Spider-Man, which is the whole point of Miles to begin with. Co-oping names was a thing before and after Miles, why would he even want use a name from when he lost his memories and not acting like himself? It's be like Logan casually going by Weapon X or something.
-
The name recognition thing IS the reason for the book's name though. In TPB, it's not called Spider-Man at all, it's just Miles Morales.
